ERRATIC BUT CUTE.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
few days ego asked that paper, by posta
caro-, its estimate of ''what are the one hun
bred most influential and bes
newspapers of the United States.
The Sun names ninety nine papers, prin
cipally of the east, which provokes the fol
lowing comment from the Kansas City
Times;
1.-THE Suns list contains a great many
influential newspapers, but 1t is very lop-
sided. The New England end Is much
heavier than the balance of population es-
tablished by progress warrants. The Sun
seems to be provincial. Texas is a greater
state than Maine In every way. Kansas is
greater than Vermont and Nebraska is
greater than Connecticut. The newspapers
are more than correspondingly influential.
OF the numerous journals on that list as
signed to New England and New
York, not more than three outside Of
New York City and Boston are any
thing more than local. In extended in
fuence they are not to be compared with
unmentioned contemporaries In Omaha,
Denver, Fort Worth and other western
cities. Boston and New York In the news
paper business overshadow other towns
and reduce circulation to localities. Who
ever buys a Providence paper outside of
Providence, for instance?
The Sun must give new definition of
what 1t means when it says influential or
stand convicted Of short slshtedness."
The Times conclusions ale cofrect, but
we think 1t failed to catch Inc point in the
Suns enumeration. The Sun named
ninety-nine papers, as we said, mainly up
!, ''s EEK of the woods, but omitted the
sun. The idea no doubt was that every
one of the ninety nine named by the Sun
would promptly place the Sun In the one
place left vacant by it, and laud
1t TO the skies for Its farsightedness and its
wise discernment and powers of discrim-
nation, and 1t would thus secure volume
of free advertising, which was no doubt its
Interior object. In its methods the Sun is
sometimes as cute as 1t is cratic.

A GREAT CAMP.

Chicago is making extensive preparations
for the encampment of national guards to
be held there in October 1t Is expected
that Is, 900 troops will be present and that
a number of them will be companies of
foreign soldiery. Belgium will be repre-
sented by one general officer. ten staff
officers and detachment Of forty picked
non commissioned officers from the differ
ent arms of the service. Information re-
ceived during the last few days from Nor.
way and Sweden Is TO the effect that those
countries will send out of their united army
ten officers, including a general officer and
company of troops. Denmark has signi-
fed her willingness to send five
officers and company of
soldiers, and perhaps general officer
The Netherlands will be represented by q
company and officers, or, in lieu thereof,
by general officer and a staff of from
twelve to fifteen officers, and Switzerland
will send on or two teams of sharpooters.
The representation from France is still IN
determined. General officers with their
stsffs are expected from Germany and Rus
STA In Russia they are rather timid about
sending their soldiers over here The
troopers are paid five cents day, and after
landing here II they saw fit to throw down
their arms for American tools with which
they could earn two dollars a day
there would be no way Of prevent
Ing them from doing 30. or Of compelling
their return to Russia In England the
matter Is still undecided. The committee
on invitation have 0ked for and hope to
get q company from the celebrated regi-
ment "The London Scottish Rifies," one
Of the finest regiments In the English ser
vice. Spain, Italy and Austria have given
no definite reply. There is some expecta
ton of getting an independent company of
Scottish troops from Nova Scotia A CON
pany Of the picturesque Mexican cavalry
Is also expected. There has been q general
response Of the National guards, and
there viii be a greater attendance than
ever before al an encampmenf. Our Ms
